From reading the script, it makes yet-another-checkout/update of the source instead of coexisting with PortIndex2MySQL and mprsyncup?
yep.
It also reinstalls MP v1.6 every time?
Well, it reinstalls the current release every time (I never bothered to make the script smarter to only install if the release changed).
I run MP from trunk on the servers, and carefully jump to new versions, so I'd like to avoid reverting to 1.6 and/or getting a new MP install every day automatically.
Its install is not system-wide, if that helps any. On my box, it all lives in its own user's $HOME
I can probably unify the various scripts to all update to the same place so I dont have so many copies of MP source laying around, but I was curious if the index *must* be done from a machine running the latest release instead of a reasonably-up-to-date trunk install?
Yes. The PortIndex should only contain ports which can be parsed by the current MacPorts release, so the portindex that generates it needs to be from the current release. A newer version, which supports newer keywords would add ports to the index that users running the latest release version wouldn't be able to install.
